im sure there is proally a thread with this on it but i couldnt find it.

I use the huge box method: Throw them all in a huge box and spend a few minutes looking for what you need. Of course I usually have some idea of the colors I will be using so I pull those out and put them on the table.

I bought a couple of wooden cutlery trays (I think that\'s what they are anyway) from Ikea. About 2 squids each. Big enough for a whole set of Game Color, a few left over GW\'s + inks, a whole set of Coat d\'arms, and a good few Foundry\'s. Suits me well enough. They sit in the bay window next to my work space.

I use a computer desk to paint on, so all my GW paints are on the pull out keyboard shelf, the vallejo bottles are a bit too big for that, so I have them all shoved in a foam tray from an Army Transport case, now thats organsiation for you :rolleyes::D

This shows all my paints.
If you own a lot of GW paints and have a hard time looking for the right ones you want. Buy WD UK 297, those stickers on the top followed it. Great stuff.

There was another thread....or two..

But they are all so far back they have grown whiskers.

Basically, they were involved with general workspace, but there are some useful snippets...

Wow, you bought a complete set? I only got a full set of browns (though mine were a freebie from my Foundry days - tight buggers couldn\'t see their way to sending me a whole set could they?!).

Are all the other colours as sticky and shiney as the browns are?

In the upper right hand you will see a yellow toolbox. I have since this picture transferred all my paints to Vallejo-style dropper bottles which actually fit better in the box.

However, I am going to get a hold of some pvc pipe and steal this idea from Mickc22:

--Edit--
:eek::eek:
OMG:
My eyes are blurry with tears from laughing.
That is NOT the picture I uploaded! I forgot to change the file name. Anyway, I think I\'ll steel that idea too, though I don\'t know whose it was.

Anyway, here\'s the pic I meant to put up:

I let mine roam freely, sometimes they wander off and get into fights with the local wombats, but generaly they are very well behaved and come when I call them.
